me as well. it's one of the very few times in recent memory that i've physically jumped during a movie, and that's definitely worth something. the movie had a mean-spirited nihilism to it that i really admire.

Definitely a very memorable scene in the movie, people screamed in the theater when that happened. Fantastic scare.

The part when he went into the attic and the door fell behind him made me shit myself. Also when the little girls face popped out as Ellison/Ethan was standing in the hallway. The only thing I wanted more from the film was more of Mr Boogie.

I really hope they do another film. I'd love to see what they could come up with.

you forgot the best one: yard work. yeah, the home movies really made this movie for me. they were all creepy as hell, and i appreciated their clever, family-positive titles. and yes, the strength of this movie was its' sense of mounting dread. sinister was a perfectly entertaining creep-fest, and if you were lucky enuf to see it with a crowd in the right mood, well, then, all the better.

Yard work made me jump off the couch. I pissed my pants during that scene. Very creepy and very well done.

Started wonderfully. The home movies were creepy as fuck. Ethan Hawke did an amazing job..Then the children appeared and that's when it lost me. Bughuul was awesome until the end..when you saw him full face.

On one side, the home movies make this film. They're flat-out creepy, unsettling and the soundtrack adds to it. I'll also agree that Yard Work was the best of them, while I'll admit the scare on that wasn't as hard hitting as I thought it would be from reading the comments, it still certainly gave me a good jolt.

However on the other side, I particularly didn't care for anything else of the film. While Ethan did do a decent job, I wasn't fond of the exposition. I'll also agree with Wonderlust that Mr. Boogie was great until the end, some creatures are just better left in the shadows or in glimpses.

With that said, it's still worth checking out. Gotta' appreciate something that's able to be really creepy and dreadful, that and I will add that the found footage aspect was used better in this film then most films which are entirely found footage.
